Update to Uncertain Times…

We want to say first off that we're thinking of you all and hope that everyone is still doing well in these crazy uncertain times. All of us here at HRCS value each and every single one of you.

As we take the well being of human life seriously we want you to know we are paying special attention to the pandemic and the developing effects of the Coronavirus.

As we have said in a previous blog post we have closed down our showroom and are only taking phone calls as well as seeing our clients by appointment only. We appreciate you understanding while we take these precautions. This way our staff doesn't become infected and we can continue to be able to build classics in a safe environment.

Of course we are playing everyday by ear and will proceed accordingly by doing our part in following the recommended practices by the CDC by social distancing cleaning our surfaces regularly while providing hand sanitizer.

We are all in this together.

We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and will follow guidance from public health officials and government agencies, so we can continue to support our customers and communities as needed.

For more information about COVD-19 and what you can do to keep healthy and safe, visit the Centers for Disease Control at cdc.gov or your local health department's website.

Also we will continue to let you know what is going on usually on our social sites or on here but know we will always keep you informed.

Due to concerns surrounding the recent coronavirus outbreak we will be closing our showroom to the public and suspending shop tours until further notice. We will remain open on an appointment only basis and are taking all CDC recommended precautions to keep everybody in our community safe. If you would like to make an appointment we can be reached at (760)-745-1170. We appreciate your business and hope to see you back soon.

Hot Rod shop rundown...

On any given day we get inquiries of what all the services we provide here at the shop. The better question to ask is what don’t we do since that is less to explain. However, we are a full restoration hot rod shop. If you have a classic car that you want us to restore from the bare metal in the Fabrication shop to upgrades on the engine and transmission to a full custom paint and body jobs, to all your final assembly needs are all done in house.

Did you also know we are partners with some of the best fabrication shops in the industry to where your interior is always showroom quality?

Plus, our tech department always keeps your classic cars maintained and fully operational. Our techs are some of the most sought out professionals in the industry because they know their classics will run correct. Actually, all of our staff is some of the most knowledgeable and talented individuals that are working in the automotive industry today.

If there is an off chance, we don’t specialize in a certain area we only work with the best to get the job done correct. We pride ourselves to ensure that our clients are happy and remain return customers.

Our showroom staff is always here to help answer questions on parts to how to get a build started. They will guide you through the whole process of any work you want done to ensure you are clear in what steps it will need to get the job completed.

We look forward to working with you soon and always know..“We do it all, We do it right.”

The Peterson Museum visits Hot Rods and Custom Stuff!!

The Checkered Flag 200 tour...

Hot Rods and Custom Stuff had the esteemed pleasure of hosting the Peterson Museum checkered flag 200 members on one of their garage tour circuits of the best automotive shops in Southern California. It was such an honor to have a group of genuine enthusiasts and collectors to share a portion of our day with.
We enjoyed nothing more as they browsed our collection of work as we engaged in talk of all things automotive and what our plans were on all of our builds here at the shop and of course along with cars that they owned as well. It was a fantastic exchange!! While on this tour we realized what an enjoyable experience it was. The many stories we heard from our visitors are some that we will keep with us for a lifetime!!!

In the end this was a fantastic opportunity for us to meet more people who love and enjoy the preservation of automotive history!! To that we are ever grateful to our time with everyone who came out!! Until next time drive safely!!!
